Why Marijuana / THC Edibles is dangerous

Dogs are more sensitive to THC than people. Concentrated products (butter, oils, high-dose edibles) raise risk. Onset usually 30-90 min. Edibles are rarely just THC: many also contain chocolate, xylitol, coffee, or nuts, which can be more dangerous than the THC itself.

Signs to watch for

Wobbliness, lethargy, dribbling urine, dilated pupils, sound/touch sensitivity, slow heart rate, low body temperature. Severe: agitation, tremors, seizures.

What to do next

Call poison control or your vet. Disclose all ingredients in the edible (chocolate, xylitol, etc.), not just the THC.

FAQ

How much Marijuana / THC Edibles is dangerous?

Dose-dependent on THC concentration and edible size, both usually unknown to the owner, so treat any known ingestion as a vet call, and disclose ALL ingredients in the edible, not just THC.

Can I treat this at home?

Keep the dog warm, quiet, and prevent falls while arranging care.

When should I call the vet?

Call poison control or your vet and be honest that it was cannabis: this is a medical conversation, not a legal one, and knowing it was THC lets them treat correctly.
